As the season continues to move forward, a trio of quarterbacks continue to dominate the Heisman conversation, but a pair of outside challengers now have their eye on college football’s greatest individual award.

The longer the season progresses, the more people learn about the small, yet pivotal, ‘Lil’ placed right before ‘Jordan.’ From leading the team in receiving yards to throwing touchdown passes with his family in the front row, Lil’Jordan continues to write his legacy at Texas with a finer pen.

Texas has prided itself on having a stout defensive unit led by Todd Orlando since last season, but in the program’s biggest win of the decade during last weekend, offensive coordinator Tim Beck’s group of players was the telling factor.

Fresh off a monumental win over Oklahoma, head coach Tom Herman walked to the podium Monday to commend Ehlinger's performance, comment about his 197 congratulatory text messages and preview what's to come against Baylor.

After driving 52 yards, Texas faced a decision: Go for a touchdown or get in position to set up Dicker the kicker — a true freshman — to kick a field goal and possibly put the Longhorns ahead in the final seconds of the game.

Floods of Oklahoma fans emerged from their seats and headed for the exits as Texas took a commanding 21-point lead over the Sooners. But what those fans would soon miss was an electrifying fourth quarter that marked an instant classic in a 118-year-long rivalry.
